Coffman’s 
“West 
Branch 
Sweepstakes” 
The true strain. . . . Grown in Lycoming County, Northern 
Pennsylvania. This is a fine silage variety, has a great many 
users in upper Pennsylvania and States to the North. 
This is a silage variety, widely used in several Northern 
States. Originated in Northern-Central Pennsylvania. Is not 
a corn that would take prizes at a beauty show—for its 
grains represent quite a mixture of color. Red to yellow, 
with many in-between shades of both running through it. 
In spite of any undesirable color or other traits present in 
this strain, it has one main feature that makes it so popular. 
. . . It is a good practical variety—that grows a dependable 
stand of fodder season after season. Great numbers of 
northern dairymen use it and always get a lot of feed. 
This variety markets a good crop of ear-corn, too. 
Maybe as with people—it isn’t always the best-looking 
fellow who makes the best farmer . . . other traits often 
have more value than good looks. That’s the way many 
folks regard "West Branch Sweepstakes” Corn. Suggest 
early orders for any amount wanted. See Price List. 
“Early 
Learning” 
This is one of the earliest yellow corns. Small eared . . . 
grains of good size . . . small cobs, borne low on the 
stalk. The ears are rich yellow, of fine appearance. Hoff¬ 
man’s "Early Learning” is particularly well adapted to higher 
locations. # 
“After reading about your ‘Lancaster Sure Crop,’ I gave it a 
trial. I surely had a fine crop. Raised lots more to acre than 
I ever did with white. All fine large ears, many of them 
measured 12 to 14 inches. I am more than pleased and expect 
to plant all Lancaster Sure Crop this year.” 
George C. Edwards, Tunnelton, W. Va.
